Chapter 39: Gentlemen of the Kremlin (1)
All of Germany was drunk on triumph. The fact that they had defeated Poland, a powerful military power, in just over 4 weeks fueled their sense of invincibility.
"Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!" 1

But some did not think so and harbored grave doubts.
"The Führer will lead this country to ruin with his megalomania. He has chosen an all-out war against the Allies. It means a repeat of the Great World War where millions died in the trenches for nothing."
"We must stop it before that happens and Germany is destroyed again. Director Canaris2, how are the negotiations with Britain going?"

They sought to contact the Allies and seek cooperation on the anti-Hitler coup and the issue of ending the war before it escalated further.
